Recorded in 1971, up the road from us at the Lansdowne Studios, this was the Sugarman’s last shot at the big-time.

Relaxed, maybe, but not subdued. Actually a lovely mixture of swingers, blues and ballads, and one of the great trumpeter’s most unmissable sets, beautiful stuff, with Tommy Flanagan on top form, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor.

Their seminal 1979 LP debut with Dennis Bovell at the mixing board. 180g vinyl.

Haunted Heart, Steal Away, Night And The City, The Art Of The Song, Nocturne.
